When you have a joint where neither edge of the drywall is a tapered

joints off to look good. The combination of the tape and the joint

Use very thin layers of joint compound and allow the compound to dry
for 1 day before sanding/applying the next coat. The sticky mesh tape
is a lot easier to work than the paper tape.
